Ajoy Paul, a Grade 7 Our Lady of the Bay Cath- olic School student, took part in the Legislative Page program. It accepts high-achieving, com- munity-involved students to act as messengers in the Legislative Chamber, learn how the Prov- ince is governed and how laws are made. “In order to get the application I had to get 80 per cent on my report card,” Ajoy said, excitedly recounting his experience. Ajoy actually received “86 or 87 per cent” in the fall term and close to 90 per cent in the winter. He was also involved in the eco challenge at his school, placed second in the speech competition for all Pickering Catholic students and is an altar boy at his church every Sunday.

It has been a long haul toward landing the property, since staff were left up in the air after an early morning fire in December tore through the previous shelter site on Waterloo Street in south Oshawa. In June, Whitby councillors voted unani- mously in favour of a 550-square-metre building to meet the needs of the society, which is currently looking after about 70 ani- mals. “We’ve waited so long that to finally get it is just out of this world to us,” said society board member Claire Nicklin, who joined Ms. Martens at the new site with her five- year-old dog Riley. The dog suffered a severe beating in his early years before being rescued by the shel- ter. “He has come so far and that’s the same with all of us -- we’ve survived a tragedy and come out stronger.” To mark the first step forward, staff is hold- ing a memorial service on Sunday, July 12 at the location of the future building to honour the more than 150 animals that perished in the blaze. “We’re holding a final goodbye because we don’t want to dwell on the past and, at the same time, we’re welcoming this beauti- ful, brand new beginning,” Ms. Martens said, adding that numerous requests for a memo- rial service began pouring in from the public immediately after the fire. “At the time, it was very difficult to go back to the old place for most of us so when we started into the process of (acquiring) this piece of property, we thought it would make sense to hold it here so people could come down and see what they helped make hap- pen.” Staff will also soon be launching a cam- paign to raise the $1.5 million needed for the construction of the new shelter. No timeline has been set for the completion of the work but Ms. Martens said she is hoping every- thing will be up and running by next spring. “It’s going to happen one baby paw at a time but we’re working at it and we’ll get there.” The memorial service will take place on at 2 p.m. at the location of the new property. Staff asks people to refrain from bringing any candles or balloons to the event. For more information: CALL 905-433-2022 EMAIL humanedurham@auracom.com VISIT www.humanedurham.com WANT TO ADOPT A PET? Whether you’re a cat, dog or even rat person, the Humane Society of Durham Region is always looking for responsible people willing to look after animals for short or extended periods of time. The shelter currently has dozens of animals scattered at various locations across the region, including a temporary shelter established at 79 Taunton Rd. W. in Oshawa and several kennels, foster homes or animal services locations.

A few months ago, when Dale Willard realized it was time to dispose of his car, he decided to follow the example of his brother and donate it to the Kidney Foundation. “It made sense to have the car go to a good cause as opposed to turning it in and getting nothing,” says the president of Willard Meats International. So, in January, he took the plunge and dialed 1-866-788-2277. “It was really easy,” he says. After calling the Kidney Car line, all he needed to do was sign a slip and set a time for collection. Doug McCallum was equally impressed with the professionalism of the Foundation’s staff and towing service when he donated his 1987 Toyota 4Runner. “They were very cooperative and tried to make everything work for me,” says the Kincardine resident, who had wanted keep the 4Runner’s tires, which were new. The towing company removed them on the spot. Sold for parts, the vehicle earned the Foundation $100 - and a charitable tax receipt for McCallum for the same amount. “Every car makes a huge difference,” says Denise Lambert, Kidney Car Program Manager. Cars, trucks, vans, trailers and SUVs are accepted, running or not. They are sold through auction or private sales. The Foundation issues a charitable receipt for a minimum of $100 or the bid value of the vehicle. With its partners’ support the Foundation strives to collect donations within 48 hours. Since it was established 15 years ago, the program has grown to average 400 vehicles a month in donations. Proceeds stay in Ontario and fund everything from education programs, support services, patient services and organ donation to medical research. Advertorial No purchase necessary.

NOW OPEN SUNDAYS 5-9PM Whitby location will still operate after scheduled summer shutdown; union reps talk about Ajax plant re-opening BY MELISSA MANCINI mmancini@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Lear Corporation has filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. The company has a factory in Whitby which supplies seats for the Oshawa General Motors Chevrolet Impala line. Until recently the company also operat- ed a plant in Ajax which provided seats for the now-closed Oshawa truck plant. Lear is a supplier of automotive seating systems, electrical distribution systems and electronic products. Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) Local 222 represents workers at Lear Whitby. “The CAW will act responsibly to ensure our Lear members’ futures are protected during these challenging times which can be described as the worst time in the history of the auto industry,” Local 222 president Chris Buckley said in a news release. “Our members did not create Lear’s financial problems but we will do our best as a union to protect our members’ interests.” According to a news release from Lear, the company and certain parts of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries have “filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern Dis- trict of New York seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.” Lear’s subsidiaries outside the U.S. and Canada are not part of the Chapter 11 filings, the release said. CAW assistant to the president respon- sible for auto parts, Jerry Dias, said the union is meeting with the company next week. He said the Whitby plant is still sup- plying for the Impala, so it will be up and running once the plant’s scheduled summer shutdown is over. Mr. Dias said the union plans to talk to the company about what the long-term impacts of its bankruptcy protection fil- ing will mean for Lear’s Ontario plants. Union reps also plan to talk about the possibility of re-opening the Ajax plant, he said. The company’s proposed restructuring plan has not yet been approved by the bankruptcy court. As part of the plan, Lear’s trade credi- tors will be paid in full, subject to cer- tain limited exceptions. The company has also filed motions to continue to pay trade creditors under normal terms in the ordinary course of business, the company’s release said. The company also said it has sought approval from the bankruptcy court to continue to provide pay and bene- fits to its employees worldwide without interruption and to continue its normal course funding of its pension obligations in the U.S. and Canada. “We are conducting business as usual and are very pleased to have received strong support from our lender and bondholder groups for our debt restruc- turing plan,” Lear’s chairman, CEO and president Bob Rossiter said in the release. “Our goal is to emerge from this pro- cess quickly and with an appropriate capital structure to support our long- term business objectives as a leading global competitor with the financial flexibility to build on our strengths and take advantage of future growth oppor- tunities.” BUSINESS Lear Corporation files for bankruptcy RON PIETRONIRO / METROLAND WHITBY -- Lear Corporation, which supplies seats for Oshawa General Motors Chev Impala line, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 9, 20095 At times like these, many investors worried about whether or not their portfolio is solid and secure find themselves looking for a second opinion.

The Great Waterfront Trail Adventure is an eight- day cycling ride designed to reconnect residents to Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, organized by the Waterfront Regeneration Trust. Approxi- mately 250 riders took off from Niagara-on-the- Lake on Saturday and were scheduled to spend Sunday night at Fort York in Toronto. But due to the strike and the temporary garbage dumps along the trail in Toronto, the riders had to bypass Canada’s biggest city altogether and took the GO train into Pickering. City staff and Ward 1 City Councillor Jen- nifer O’Connell were happy to host them. “When I received the call last week from the Waterfront Regeneration Trust that they need- ed Pickering’s help because of the Toronto strike, I knew that this was an opportunity we could not pass up,” said Coun. O’Connell, chairwoman of the waterfront committee. Despite the week-and-a-half notice and nerves regarding whether the City could pull the event off in time, Coun. O’Connell and City staff organized an itinerary and set up a comfortable resting stop for the riders. They were also treated to music, bike tune-ups, massages and light refreshments upon arrival. “They were having such a good time that it put my nerves at ease,” Coun. O’Connell said. Riders were given a list of local restaurants they could visit for dinner and a shuttle bus was on hand to take them to Millennium Square at the foot of Liverpool Road. “It was just amazing to see so many people out there on a Sunday night and I think the businesses appreciated it as well,” she said, adding all the res- taurants in the area seemed busy. Riders had the option of staying at Esplanade Park or at the Comfort Inn on Kingston Road, and 150 to 200 opted to camp out, Coun. O’Connell said, add- ing it was neat to see the park transformed. The evening was wrapped with a showing of Twi- light on the big screen in Esplanade Park, which residents were also welcome to attend. Riders were treated to a breakfast, coffee, yoga in the park and bike tune-ups in preparation for the rest of the journey, and were escorted to Millenni- um Square to start the rest of their journey.

To the editor: I am concerned about the lack of inter- est or help there is in Durham Region for injured wildlife. We have had an injured mourning dove with a broken wing since Saturday. We have called every number we could find with no success. No ones seems interested or has any idea of who can help this poor little bird who was, by the way, attacked by someone’s black and white cat in the Rambleberry, Rawlings and Longbow area. We know that it is this cat as we have caught it several times killing birds. We chased it off before it killed this one. We are cat owners too and our cat goes out on a leash when we do. We are responsible pet owners; we care about the safety of our pet and of the wild- life in our neighbourhood. If anyone knows where in this region we can call for help please let us know. We are all caretakers of all creatures great and small, the Lord God made them all. Mary Wells Pickering ENVIRONMENT Mayor’s reasoning on incinerator questioned To the editor: Re: Scugog mayor ‘very comfortable’ with incinerator endorsement, June 30. Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce justified her decision to vote for the incinerator in part with her concern over the toxic leach- ate from landfills into groundwater. This position is not consistent with the facts surrounding incineration, for several reasons. The waste doesn’t just vanish. Incinera- tor ash still must be landfilled. “Fly” ash, from the air pollution control filters, is classified as toxic and must be treated before dumping in a landfill. “Bot- tom” ash, the material left over, while not classified as toxic, is suspected of being harmful. Several studies in Europe have found that it can leach heavy metal pollutants into the water table. Of greater concern are musings by Dur- ham public works staff, consultants and some councillors that “beneficial uses” can be found for bottom ash, as construction or paving materials. This is a classic industry ploy to reclassify waste as a commodity, thus removing any restriction on carrying, using or dumping it. Once reclassified, it can go anywhere in a form that is not suspected of causing any harm. The trick worked with sewage sludge, so why not ash? Louis Bertrand Clarington Zero waste possible if public pushes for it To the editor: Re: Incinerator is best option for now, James McGowan letter, July 3. James McGowan asserts that a move towards zero waste is impossible because of the changes that need to be made by industry in order for it to work. Given that most of the garbage collected from citizens came from manufacturers unwilling to help solve the garbage prob- lem, why does it become the responsibil- ity of those same citizens to dispose of said garbage and bear the financial and health burden that doing so brings? Change will come about only as quickly as the voting public wants it to happen. The more citizens with Mr. McGowan’s atti- tude, the less likely we will move towards zero waste. Jim Osborne Courtice Have a great summer trip right here at home Durham Region offers plenty to see and do The long days of summer have arrived and thoughts turn to long-distance trav- el. Or do they? With gas prices fluctuating and a never- ending recession on everyone’s minds, budget-conscious families have to be mindful of the bottom line. But that doesn’t mean they have to stay shut up at home. There are plenty of things to do right here in Durham Region. In fact, over the next few months, a lot of penny-pinching consumers will opt to take a stay-cation rather than a vacation. The idea is to get to know the attrac- tions that are right in your own backyard, the places you may not have taken the time to visit in the past. There are plenty of hidden gems, if you just make the effort to look. They are affordable, close by and, best of all, interesting, exciting and you don’t need to pack an overnight bag or travel all day to get there. This past weekend, for instance, many Durham families took advantage of Tank Day at the Ontario Regimental Museum in Oshawa. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the museum, located at 1000 Stevenson Rd. N., opened up its garage and put all its major mili- tary hardware on display. It was like a fantasy world for ammo geeks and children of all ages got to ogle guns, turrets and trucks and machines. Everything was definitely hands-on and friendly guides were on site and avail- able to provide information and a look- see at vintage equipment dating back to the Second World War. All this for $5 per person and free for young children. Others made their way to Pickering Museum Village in Greenwood where they were able to get involved in a rope- making demonstration and see what life was like for our ancestors in the 19th century. It was like taking a trip back in time and all it took was a short drive to Pickering and a few dollars admission charge. Guides in period costume -- authentic dresses -- demonstrate baking a cake using vintage ingredients to offer a taste of life lived in the 1860s. There is so much to do in Durham and so many other sights to see. Every weekend offers opportunities to travel throughout the region and to expe- rience what the region has to offer.

Madill Regional Clerk Region of Durham 605 Rossland Road East Whitby, ON L1N 6A3 REGION NEWS Beatles tribute will rock Durham, help regional charities Three more concerts still to be announced BY JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- An act that Rolling Stone magazine called “the best Beatles tribute on earth,” is coming to Oshawa, through a new partnership between the General Motors Centre and local charities. 1964 ... The Tribute will be the first of four fund- raising concerts to take place at the GMC between December 2009 and June 2010, as part of the new Durham Charity Entertainment Showcase. The shows will raise money for five Durham Region charities -- the Durham Family YMCA, Grandview Children’s Centre, the Abilities Centre, the Oshawa Hospital Foundation and the United Way of Oshawa- Whitby-Clarington-Brock and Scugog. “We would like to make this an annual event, it’s a great way for people to see some great, affordable entertainment and support local charities at the same time,” said Vince Vella, GMC general manager. He said $5 from each ticket sold will be donated to the charity or charities paired with each show, creat- ing the potential to raise $15,000 per event, if all 3,000 seats sell out. Grandview and the YMCA will be the beneficiaries of the Beatles tribute show slated for Dec. 5. “Instead of going to a concert in Toronto, people can stay local and help charities that help their kids, or their neighbour’s kids,” said Pam McColl, Grand- view’s foundation director, noting the funds raised will help the agency run programs for children with special needs, and purchase new equipment. Phil Cristi, general manager of the Durham Fam- ily YMCA, said funds raised for his charity will go towards the Strong Kids Campaign, which helps chil- dren and families access fitness facilities, day camps and child care. “It improves people’s lives,” he said. “And the best part is, all the money raised locally, stays local.” The other three showcase concerts are scheduled for March 4, May 2 and June 19, 2010. While the acts have been confirmed, organizers plan to string out the announcements to build suspense. The March event is expected to be unveiled in early September. Tickets for 1964 go on sale Friday, July 10 at 11 a.m. and are $49.50. The show recreates an early 1960s Beatles concert with period instruments, clothing, hairstyles and on- stage banter. Songs include Twist and Shout, Yester- day, and This Boy. The Oshawa concert will also feature a 16-piece orchestra performing with the band during the sec- ond half of the show.

He had to wake up early every morning to catch the GO Train to Union Station in order to arrive before the day began at 8 a.m. Before leaving the house, he had to put on a dress shirt, suit, black socks, tie and coat. “It took about five or 10 minutes to put everything on,” he said. His day ended at 4:30 or 5 p.m., which included a 40-minute lunch break. “It was a pretty hectic day,” he said. The Queen’s Park experience could be somewhat daunting for a young student, especially since the pages have to memorize each member of provincial parliament and the riding they represent. Luckily for Ajoy, his younger brother, Aaron, quizzed him until he could identify all 107 MPPs. “It was a very fun experience,” he said. Plus, he got to learn a lot as he went along. Aside from being tutored in the law-making process, when he first began, the eHealth spending scandal hit the fan. “They were firing at the Minister of Health, David Caplan,” he said. Although Ajoy stressed he was non-parti- san during his time as a legislative page, and enjoyed his daily interaction with Premier Dalton McGuinty and Pickering-Scarbor- ough East MPP Wayne Arthurs, he was par- ticularly impressed with NDP Trinity-Spadi- na MPP Rosario Marchese. “He’s a very inter- esting man to listen to,” he said. Ajoy recommends that other students take advantage of the program because it’s unique and “you get to meet new people, new friends.” Also, as his mother, Sheena Paul, point- ed out, he has a great reference letter for his future endeavours. Although Ajoy’s future could include poli- tics, he’s keeping his options open. “When I grow up I’ll follow my heart and see what I want to be,” he said.

Ajoy Paul Among missing garden accessories are a gnome, a stone statue and a wooden cutout BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Peter Hewett’s front yard is looking a little less cheery since he’s been forced to banish his gnomes and other garden deco- rations to his backyard, following thefts from his garden. A wooden silhouette of a little boy peeing, a garden gnome and a stone statue of Victo- rian children were all taken from his Clover Ridge West front yard. The Hewetts noticed the items were missing on a rainy day in mid- June. “My wife looked over and said ‘where’s the statue?’,” he said. Mr. Hewett admits none of the items were very costly, but pointed out the wooden sil- houette was one of a kind and he repainted every year to maintain it. “I know it’s not valuable, but it’s sentimen- tal, one of them was a Mother’s Day gift,” he said of the stone statue. This isn’t the first time people have stolen from Mr. Hewett. Before moving to Ajax, his home was broken into in Scarborough. He said he thought he’d gotten away from that kind of thing when he moved to Durham. “It’s not like when we got broken into, we really felt violated then ... but it’s still creepy to know someone’s out there.” Mr. Hewett questioned whether the theft of the garden items was a first step that would lead to thefts from cars or other property damage. He took it seriously and let his neighbours know about it in a note he put in nearby mail- boxes. “I just said there’s a sneak thief operating in the neighbourhood.” And in fact, he’s not the only victim of petty crime. His neighbour Cathy, who asked that her last name not be used, said her solar gar- den lights were recently stolen. “I just noticed. I went to pull weeds out and the lights are gone,” she said. Overall, she said thefts aren’t common in the south Ajax neighbourhood and thinks per- haps kids stole the items. “This neighbourhood’s always been really good,” she said. Mr. Hewett speculates that perhaps it’s someone who’s a bit older because the stone statue was roughly 25 pounds, making it tough to carry for a child. He said if someone made a mistake and took the items, it’s not too late to make it right. “We’d like it back,” he said. “I’d be interested to know if it’s happened to someone else.” And for now, his garden accessories will remain in his backyard.

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE Over 20 million Canadians suffer from psychological disorders like depression, anxiety, panic attacks, excessive worry, speciﬁ c phobias and post-traumatic stress. Problem is, Canadians who might beneﬁ t profoundly from psychotherapy—a.k.a. “talk” therapy—aren’t even considering it. Yet, evidence from brain imaging research suggests that one form of talk therapy known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or CBT, produces changes in the brain similar to those produced by anti-depressant or anti- anxiety medications. CBT emphasizes the idea that our thoughts (cognitions) affect how we feel (emotions). Treatment lasts an average of 16 sessions (includes “homework”) and involves changing negative patterns of thinking—and behaving— using slow, gradual steps. “CBT involves active collaboration between patient and therapist,” says Dr. Direnfeld, a registered psychologist who’s been practicing CBT since the early ’90s, and who is now the clinical director of the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. “In many cases, patients are quick to make worst-case- scenario assumptions, even when those assumptions are irrational and unwarranted,” explains Dr. Direnfeld. “My role is to use real-world evidence to help patients become more rational in their assessment of difﬁ cult situations, which then has a remarkable trickle-down effect.” Like medication, CBT has been shown to impact the brain in ways that are scientiﬁ cally measurable. Take Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, characterized by anxious thoughts and repetitive behaviours that are meant to reduce the anxiety. In a study that compared CBT to Prozac, changes in the brain were essentially identical. Dr. Direnfeld warns, however, that a crucial element of CBT is a patient’s motivation to change. Patients must believe, unquestionably, that change is achievable. “When my patients—even those who have suffered for years or decades—understand that they can change their life, it’s like an epiphany,” says Dr. Direnfeld. “All of a sudden, life holds exciting new prospects for the future.” For more information about CBT or the Centre for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, call 905-427-2007 or email info@ccbt.ca.

The Rock lost the game 11-6, but rebounded the following day with an exciting 12-11 overtime victory over Wellington. SR. B LACROSSE Rock falter in bid for third Ajax-Pickering falls to Brooklin 11-6; beats Wellington 12-11 in overtime BY BRAD KELLY bkelly@durhamregion.com AJAX -- The season is full of lessons, and the Ajax-Pickering Rock learned a valuable one on their home floor in Ajax on Friday night. While head coach Jim Veltman was disap- pointed with an 11-6 loss to the Brooklin Mer- chants that is likely to go a long way in deter- mining third place in the OLA Sr. B loop, it was what happened leading up to the loss that bothered him most. Specifically, a lack of bodies at recent prac- tices helped contribute to a horrible second period that resulted in getting outscored 6-1 en route to the loss. “We fell apart,” said Veltman of the 20-min- ute stretch. “We were making uncharacteristic mistakes. “I attribute it to the last two practices. We’ve had very poor turnouts. I told the guys after- wards when you don’t put in the work, this is the kind of result you get. “That was disappointing because it was a very important game for us. It was probably the most important game of the year so far. The mistakes that were made could have been prevented if players came to practice.” Jonas Derks had two of the goals for the Rock, while David Brown, Mark Craig, Jamie Plunkett and Bryan Johnson had one each. The Rock had an opportunity for redemp- tion the following night hosting Wellington, pushed to overtime before coming out ahead 12-11. Wellington actually scored first in overtime to go up 11-10, but Brandon Doran scored a pair, the second standing up as the game win- ner. The Rock even survived a penalty-kill sit- uation in the final two minutes of overtime, as Veltman praised the work of goaltender Kevin Beauvais in the third period and overtime as helping his tired club pull through. The weekend split still leaves the Rock in fourth place in the six team loop, one point back of third place Brooklin, but nine ahead of fifth place Wellington with just three games to go. If the standings remain unchanged, the Rock would draw first place Owen Sound in the opening round of playoffs, which would be a tall order, considering the Woodsmen are undefeated at 13-0-0 this season. “We took the hard route when we lost to Brooklin,” said Veltman of trying to leap frog into third place and draw second place Peter- borough-Norwood Nitro in this first round. “Our road to third place is going to be tougher. We know that and we talked about that.” The Rock go into the weekend at 6-6-1, host- ing Ohsweken (2-10-0) on Friday at 8:30 p.m., and Owen Sound on Saturday at 7 p.m. They finish on the road Friday, July 17 in Wellington (2-11-0). HOCKEY Pickering’s Wakefield receives academic award WAKEFIELD, MASS. -- Another award has come the way of Jenn Wake- field. The Pickering resident was one of seven players on the University of New Hampshire women’s hockey team named to the 2008-2009 WHEA All- Academic team. It was the second time Wakefield has received the distinction, having been feted last year. Wakefield, a sophomore forward, was a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-10 finalist. She tallied 32 goals and 17 assists for 49 points in 31 games to rank third in the nation in goals per game and 13th in points per game. As well, she was second in game- winning goals and third in both power play goals and shorthanded goals in the nation. The 20-year-old graduate of Dun- barton High School led her Wildcats team in points, goals, power play goals, shorthanded goals, game-winning goals and shots. This year’s honours included New England All-Star, Hockey East First Team All-Star, and Hockey East Player of the Month (twice). SOCCER Pair of Ajax soccer teams win at Robbie SCARBOROUGH -- A couple of Ajax teams were big winners at the 43rd Annual Robbie International Soc- cer Tournament. In final games played on Monday, the Ajax SC Venom doubled Villeray AA from Montreal 4-2 to win the boys U12 division. Ajax won the game on the strength of two goals by Tristen Wilson and singles by Dayne St. Clair and Lee Nicholson. The Ajax Storm crushed Foothills Athletics of Calgary by a score of 7-0 in the girls U17/18 division, as Brooke McCurdy recorded the shutout. Zakiya McIntosh fired home two goals for the winners, with singles contributed by Chloe Giordano, Teri Kourtis, Lind- say Panchan, Carmelina Puopolo and Sarah Wong. A couple of other teams were not so lucky in the championship final. The Pickering Power Strikers were edged 1-0 by Lakeshore SC of Montre- al in the girls U12 division, and the Ajax Strikers ‘94 suffered a 1-0 loss in extra time to Ottawa Fury in the boys U15/16 division. newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 9, 200914 P DURHAM -- On Canadian soil, it was Perdita over Priscilla, as Fel- icien bested Lopes-Schliep for the national title in the 100m hurdles at the Canadian championships in Toronto last month. On international soil, however, it has been the other way around. In races in Norway and Switzer- land, it has been Whitby’s Lopes- Schliep finishing ahead of Picker- ing’s Felicien. The two darlings of Canadian track and field lined up at the Bis- lett Games in Norway last Friday, with Lopes-Schliep taking third in a time of 12.78, while Felicien set- tled for fifth in a clocking of 12.85. The winning time of 12.68 was posted by Damu Cherry, of the United States. The finishing order stayed the same, although the times were a little quicker despite rainy condi- tions at Athletissima in Lausanne, Switzerland on Tuesday. Lopes- Schliep was third again, this time in 12.64, while Felicien set a sea- sonal best time of 12.71 in finish- ing fifth. Sally McLellan, of Aus- tralia, was first in 12.60.

Call Donna McNally at 905-683-5110 ext. 241 or email dmcnally@durhamregion.com These days, almost everyone is trying to conserve. Whether it’s as simple as turning off lights that are not being used to installing energy effi cient heating and cooling systems, conservation has a positive impact on both the environment and your wallet. Recognizing the need for energy effi cient solutions in homes, Steve Brown, owner of Brown’s Home Heating, has opened SEA-Tech, a company focused on providing green and environmentally friendly products such as solar water heating systems, tankless water heaters, high effi ciency furnaces and air conditioners, and wind and geothermal powered heating and cooling systems. “We feel strongly that new and high effi ciency technologies will have a positive impact on our environment, and we would like to help home and business owners utilize the best technologies available today,” says Steve Brown, owner of SEA-Tech. Using more effi cient products can save homeowners money on their monthly utility bills, and often the cost of having a system installed pays for itself within several years. Reducing the amount of energy consumed also lowers emissions and takes pressure off the grid. “Individuals have the ability to reduce the load they put on the grid,” says Brown, who has been in the heating and air conditioning industry for over 25 years. “The solution is to work with the grid, but save some load.” Any home can upgrade to more energy effi cient systems, and are eligible for grants from both the federal and provincial governments. For example, customers can receive up to $3,700 towards a solar water system with a tankless back-up system and $7,000 for geothermal heating and cooling systems. Generous rebates are also available for high effi ciency furnaces and air conditioners. “This signifi cantly offsets the cost of going green, and it will result in immediate savings for home and business owners on their energy bills,” says Brown. Some upgrades will also be eligible for the government’s Home Renovation Tax Credit, which can save purchasers up to $1,350 in tax rebates. “We work with existing systems to fi gure out the optimal blend of new and existing technologies,” says Brown. SEA-Tech also has unique energy saving tools such as the Cool’N’Save available. “This device attaches to an existing air conditioner and using a simple garden hose and ingenious design, will reduce your air conditioning costs by 30 per cent,” explains Brown. “Your investment in the Cool’N’Save will be paid back in two summers.” For more information, please call SEA-Tech at (905) 428- 0146 or visit parent company Brown’s Home Heating’s website at www.brownshomeheating.com.
